A Avó Veio Trabalhar (The Grandmother Came to Work) is a project of sharing, learning and empowerment that, through traditional work and design, increases the power of intervention of seniors.

The "PESCARTE" Project focused on the research and development of handicraft techniques associated with the activities of the fishing communities of the county of Odemira: Vila Nova de Milfontes, Longueira Almograve, Entrada da Barca and Azenha do Ma, with the aim of innovating through the design and responsible involvement of fishermen and artisans. Thus, it is intended to re-introduce local crafts to the community itself and the "market" with a new image and future commercial perspective.
We work with over 80 partner entities - companies, foundations, museums, associations
The organization has received more than 10 trainees, most of them with background in artistic / design / fashion.
